MW 473.4 Da, Purity >98%. Novel, selective, cell membrane permeable clathrin inhibitor. Competitively inhibits clathrin terminal domain to selectively inhibit clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) (IC50 = 12 μM for inhibition of amphiphysin association of clathrin TD). Interferes with receptor mediated endocytosis (RME), entry of HIV and synaptic vesicle recycling.

High concentrations of Pitstop 2™ may interfere with fluorescence imaging due to a low emittance of the compound in the green channel. This fluorescence is not usually detectable if the cells have been first fixed and washed prior to imaging.

2D chemical structure image of ab120687, Pitstop® 2, Novel cell-permeable clathrin inhibitor
Hela cells were preincubated with DMSO (0.1%) or different doses of pitstop 2 (ab120687) ranging from 5 μM to 30 μM. Cells were then allowed to internalize Alexa594-Transferrin and antibodies to MHCI in the presence or absence of the drug for 30 min. After internalization, surface antibody was removed by low pH acid wash. Cells were then labeled with secondary antibodies to detect trasnferrin and MHCI.

A) Pitstop® 2 reversibly inhibits Tf uptake. After 15 min preincubation HeLa cells were incubated with Alexa Fluor® 568-Tf in the presence of DMSO or 30 µM Pitstop 2 for 15 min. Tf uptake is seen to resume after washout of the drug for 1 hr. Scale bar, 10 mm. B) Reversibility and dose dependence of Pitstop® 2-mediated inhibition of Tf uptake. Data represent SEM (n = 3 independent experiments; *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.0001). C) Pitstop® 2 inhibits EGF uptake. HeLa cells pretreated with 30 µM pitstop 2 or DMSO for 15 min were incubated for 15 min with Alexa Fluor® 488-EGF in the continued presence of inhibitor. Data represent SEM (n = 3 independent experiments; ***p < 0.0001). D) Pitstop 2 does not interfere with AP-2-mediated cargo sequestration into CCPs. TIRF microscopy images of Cos7 cells pretreated with DMSO or 30 µM Pitstop 2 for 15 min were incubated with Alexa Fluor® 488-EGF at 8oC in the continued presence of inhibitor and immunostained for AP-2a (red). Scale bar, 4 mm. E) Pearson’s
